All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autob

Summary

This quote suggests that all forms of art carry some reflection of the artist's personal experiences and emotions. The pearl, which is produced by the oyster, serves as a metaphor for the artistic creation. Just as the pearl is an intimate product of the oyster's life and surroundings, art is seen as a manifestation of the artist's own life and perspective. It implies that artists express themselves through their work, unconsciously revealing their autobiographies, leaving behind a piece of themselves embedded within their art.

A quarter-horse jockey learns to think of a twenty-second race as if it were occurring across twenty minutes--in distinct parts, spaced in his consciousness. Each nuance of the ride comes to him as he builds his race. If you can do the opposite with deep time, living in it and thinking in it until the large numbers settle into place, you can sense how swiftly the initial earth packed itself together, how swiftly continents have assembled and come apart, how far and rapidly continents travel, how quickly mountains rise and how quickly they disintegrate and disappear.
